I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bain & Company (London, England) in Apr 2015
Interview
Interview was fun. Standard case study interview process was done. Introduction followed by case study. The first round was pretty straightforward, no materials were used except for a verbal introduction of the case followed by interviewer led case study. The second round was a little tricky. As it was over the Internet (applied to different office), the interviewer had a hard time deciding how to show me the charts. The charts were straightforward forward if put in front of someone but over the Internet is a different experience.
2 rounds, 1st round 2 small cases, not very difficult , market entry cases.
2nd long case with a deck to read and prepare answers..45 mins to read, 15 mins to answer
Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
